Thanks Gilda, that's a good set of suggestions. I have another
one:
Use the whole dialog, but highlight the appropriate part by
reducing the brightness of everything else. It looks almost like
a spotlight is shining on the bit you want to draw attention to.
Similar to drawing a box or elipse around it but better I think.
I've used this in a manual and got very favourable comments from
colleagues.
It's simple to do in Paintshop Pro.
